Lu Ye handed the golden invitation letter to the butler and said, "If possible, I would like to know about the reward of Mega Stone."
"certainly."
The butler showed just the right amount of surprise, reviewed the invitation, and said with a smile:
"Count Luye, Count Violet, please follow me to the hall and wait for a moment."
Led by the butler, the two walked towards the side hall, and Violet whispered:
"Teacher Lu, are you planning on a random match or a named challenge?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Random matching means that Mr. Yikong will arrange a challenger of the same rank for you. As for the named challenge, it is similar to the duel in the Middle Ages. Most challenged people will not refuse the challenge, but the challenger will also run the risk of being demoted."
Violet said, "If you want to get the Mega Stone... I'm afraid you'll need a higher rank."
Lu Ye nodded.
Above the Earl is the Marquis and the Duke. It seems that at least two or three wins are needed.
The lobby is a room where trainers can exchange information and choose challengers of the same rank.
"Well, I'll excuse myself for a moment. I'll tell you the details of exchanging Mega Stones later." said the butler.
Lu Ye nodded and said, "It's troublesome."
The hall is decorated in a luxurious and restrained style, with marble columns standing inside and the sound of cello wafting in from the distance.
When Lu Ye and Violet walked into the hall, everyone's eyes converged on them and some trainers were slightly startled.
"Teacher Lu?"
"Oh no... I shouldn't have chosen today to come and challenge you."
"There's nothing I can do... If I find a match, I'll just go for it."
The trainers present wisely did not challenge Lu Ye to a battle.
Lu Ye looked around the interior furnishings and was stunned to find a man climbing a marble column.
Climb, climb marble columns?!
Lu Ye took a closer look.
He was a dark-skinned, sturdy man. He grabbed the upper edge of the marble column with one arm, used the force to swing, and climbed up to the beam of the hall.
The others ignored him and continued talking to themselves.
"That's the Rock Gym Leader, Chaklo."
Violet held her forehead and said helplessly: "He is a man who will start rock climbing no matter when and where."
Lu Ye: "Anytime and anywhere?"
Violet said helplessly, "It is said that he will also do gym challenges while rock climbing."
Lu Ye: “…”
The Shimada family must need talents like you!
The sound of roller skating
There are still people roller skating indoors.
The girl with a yellow ponytail, wearing roller skating protective gear, came over happily and waved:
"Master, long time no see!!"
Lu Ye came back to his senses and smiled:
"Long time no see, Kornie."
Chapter 633: It's not a gathering of heroes, it's just a meeting of carrots
The blond girl in front of me was wearing a helmet and protective gear. She was gliding lightly towards me on roller skates. Her ponytail was swaying behind her head and she had a cheerful smile on her face.
"Hey, Master!"
Korni skated in front of Lu Ye and Zi Luolan, braked her roller skates, and grinned:
"Long time no see!"
Lu Ye nodded and said, "The last time was at the P1 Fighting Tournament in Kanto."
"In the end, Caidou actually won the championship."
Korni recalled the P1 fighting tournament, with flames dancing in her eyes.
"Next time I see her... I will never lose again!"
"It seems that you already have the confidence of a Mega Evolution User."
Lu Ye looked at Korni's keystone gloves and said.
"Of course~" Korni straightened her chest and put her hands on her hips and said, "My relationship with Lucario has become more harmonious~"
"Come to think of it, when I saw you, Master, I was startled and wondered if it was you." Korni said, "Then Lucario sensed your waveguide, so I came up to say hello."
"I didn't expect that." Lu Ye sighed, "I would meet so many gym leaders in one trip..."
Including Chaklo and Violet, Korni is already the third gym owner in this battle castle.
This is not a gathering of the best, this is clearly a meeting of the idiots. (Wrong)
For this trip, don’t worry about the Mega Evolution Stone… If you don’t get the badge, it will be considered a success!
Korni: "Master, are you also participating in the ranking battle against the castle?"
Lu Ye nodded.
"In that case, why not have a fight with me—"
Korni put one hand on her waist and clenched her fist confidently. A crystal key stone was inlaid in her glove.
"Lucario and I can't wait to fight Blastoise!"
Lu Ye looked at Korni and felt emotional when he saw that she didn't seem to be joking.
It's not that he's avoiding a fight... He's mainly afraid of leaving his apprentice with a psychological trauma.
"This trip is to train Little Kiras." Lu Ye said, "I'm afraid your expectations will be dashed."
"Eh..."
Korni sighed regretfully, her frustration disappeared in an instant, and she smiled brightly and invited:
"In that case, Master, would you like to visit Sala City? I can take you to the top of the Refining Tower to see the scenery. It's very, very beautiful!"
Lu Ye: "Refining Tower? There will be a chance, but it will take some time."
Of course, Korni knew that her master had more important things to do.
For example, training Pokémon, challenging strong ones like Aka-senpai, and having a fair fight.
"I must also follow the example of my master."
Korni clenched her fists quietly, and was startled. She reached for her bag and took out a "boxing glove-shaped" combat badge.
"Master, this is for you, you're welcome!" Korni said with a hearty smile.
Originally, this badge should have been handed over to the master during the P1 Fighting Tournament.
But I hadn't become a gym owner at that time... Now, I can finally do it myself!
Lu Ye looked at the shining badge on Korni's palm and was startled:
"Why did you suddenly give me the badge?"
"Because Grandpa and I have already recognized you!" Korni said confidently, "If you accept it, you won't have to make a special trip to the Sala Gym."
Lu Ye: "Believe me, I will never come to the Shala Gym."
Korni: "But Gengar can do it, Master, you have to consider Gengar's feelings too~"
"Koujie~" The little fat man jumped out from Lu Ye's shadow upon hearing the sound, grinned and shook hands with Korni.

"This badge is for you, Gengar~" Kornie said with a smile.
"Kou Jie!" Gengar nodded righteously.
Immediately, Geng Gui held up the badge high, and the metal surface flashed with a 'ding' sound!
[Ding! "Battle Badge" detected, mission progress updated! ]
[Task progress has been updated!]
[Task progress: (2/8)]
It happened so suddenly.
Until a familiar yet unfamiliar prompt tone sounded in my ears.
Lu Ye pursed his lips, feeling mixed emotions.
Now the badges are given in person without even having to fight. Is it so straightforward
Looking at Korni's cheerful smile again, Lu Ye did not take out the notebook.
The 'Gherkin' is just such a straightforward and optimistic single-threaded creature.
Giving badges is just a way for her to express recognition to trainers.
Lu Ye subconsciously looked around. Trainers in fancy clothes were talking in twos and threes in the hall. Each of them looked like "Gym Master Carlos".
"How many gym owners are participating in today's challenge?" Lu Ye asked Korni.
Korni blinked and said, "About four... What's wrong, Master?"
Lu Ye's breathing stagnated and his vision turned dark.
So a trip to the battle castle would complete half of the mission
no.
Change the goal.
It's considered a success if you get less than two badges!
…
After handing the "Battle Badge" to Teacher Lu.
Korni was roller skating, looking for a suitable challenger in the hall.
Wheels-
Amid the noise of roller skating, Lu Ye looked up at the ceiling. Chaklo, with a stern and dark face, was still hanging on the beam with one arm.
"This guy..." Lu Ye pondered, "Is he a psychopath?"
I've been hanging for half an hour already. This is not the way to climb rocks. It's more like drying bacon.
However, in the Pokémon world, most trainers have special physiques, so it is normal for one or two weirdos to appear among the gym leaders.
Violet came over with two glasses of champagne. She handed one to Lu Ye and said curiously:
"Teacher Lu, Master Kernee is your disciple?"
Korni is the famous super evolution messenger of this castle. She is also a "Count" and her strength should not be underestimated.
Lu Ye thanked him and took it, then said thoughtfully:
"It happened a year ago. She wasn't even the owner at that time."
By this calculation, as a teacher, I have quite a few apprentices.
Korni, Caidou, Xiaozhi, Gladion, Manchong...
Caidou is the fighter with the most determination and perseverance.
When it comes to maturity of character, Xiaozhi is far inferior to Caidou.
As for Manchong, he is the student that Teacher Lu pays the most attention to.
